JKM Design Pattern

+
Adapter pattern example
+
Adapter converts one interface to another that clients expect. Example: converting a legacy XML service to JSON API format.
Advantages of design patterns
+
Improve reusability, maintainability, readability, and communication between developers.
Avoid design patterns
+
Avoid them when they add unnecessary complexity. Overuse may make simple code overly abstract or harder to understand.
Behavioral patterns
+
Observer, Strategy, Iterator, Command, Mediator, Template Method, Chain of Responsibility.
Bridge vs adapter pattern
+
Adapter works with existing code to make incompatible interfaces work together, while Bridge separates abstraction from implementation to scale systems.
Command pattern in ui
+
Command objects encapsulate UI actions like Copy, Paste, Undo. They can be queued, logged, or undone.
Creational patterns
+
Singleton, Factory, Abstract Factory, Prototype, Builder.
Decorator pattern example
+
Adding features like encryption or compression to a file stream dynamically without modifying the original class.
Dependency inversion principle
+
High-level modules should depend on abstractions, not concrete classes. DI containers and patterns like Factory and Strategy help achieve loose coupling.
Design pattern?
+
A reusable solution to a common programming problem. It provides best practices for structuring code.
Design patterns are used in java’s jdk?
+
JDK uses several patterns such as Singleton (Runtime), Factory (Calendar.getInstance()), Strategy (Comparator), Iterator (Iterator interface), and Observer (Listener model in Swing). These patterns solve reusable design challenges in library features.
Design patterns vs algorithms
+
Algorithms solve computational tasks while design patterns solve architectural design problems. Algorithms have fixed steps; patterns are flexible templates.
Design principles vs patterns
+
Principles guide how to write good code (SOLID), while patterns provide reusable proven solutions.
Factory method pattern example
+
Factory Method creates objects without exposing creation logic. Example: Calendar.getInstance() or creating different document types based on input.
Gang of four?
+
Gang of Four (GoF) refers to four authors who wrote the book "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software" in 1994. They introduced 23 standard design patterns widely used in software development.
Inversion of control?
+
IoC means the framework controls object creation and lifecycle rather than the programmer. Commonly implemented via Dependency Injection.
Observer pattern
+
Observer allows objects (observers) to get notified automatically when the subject changes state. Used in event-driven systems like Java Swing listeners.
Open/closed principle
+
Classes should be open for extension but closed for modification. Design patterns like Strategy, Decorator, and Template enforce this principle.
Patterns help in refactoring
+
Patterns reduce duplication, simplify logic, improve scalability, and make code modular when refactoring legacy systems.
Prevent over-engineering
+
Use patterns only when they solve a real problem. Follow YAGNI ("You Aren’t Gonna Need It") and refactor gradually.
Purpose of uml in design patterns
+
UML diagrams visualize relationships, responsibilities, and structure of design patterns, aiding understanding and implementation.
Real-world singleton example
+
java.lang.Runtime and logging frameworks like Log4j use Singleton to manage shared resources across the application.
Role of design patterns
+
They provide reusable solutions to common software problems and promote flexibility, maintainability, and scalability.
Scenario: command vs strategy pattern
+
Command is better when you need undo/redo, queueing actions, or macro commands in UI. Strategy is better when switching between interchangeable algorithms.
Single responsibility principle
+
SRP states that a class should have only one reason to change. It improves maintainability, readability, and testing in software design.
Singleton pattern & when to use?
+
Singleton ensures only one instance of a class exists and provides a global point of access. Used in logging, configuration settings, caching, or database connection management.
Solid principles?
+
SOLID stands for Single Responsibility, Open/Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, and Dependency Inversion. These principles help make code maintainable, extendable, and loosely coupled.
Strategy pattern example
+
Sorting algorithms (QuickSort, MergeSort, BubbleSort) can be swapped at runtime based on input size or performance needs.
Structural patterns
+
Adapter, Decorator, Composite, Proxy, Facade, Bridge, Flyweight.
Types of design patterns
+
Creational, Structural, and Behavioral.
